Post-Grad Bahamas Trip in the Planning Stage

Hotel:

My friend's grandparents were kind enough to let us stay at the hotel room that they booked at Atlantis Harborside Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. We will get to have our own space and full access to the iconic Atlantis resort, so I am super grateful!!

Features:

• Kitchenette

• TV

• Pull out couch/Queen bed

  • Sleeps 4

• Bathroom

• Laundry

• Access to resort amenities

Flight:

3 of my friends and I are going to be flying from Newark, NJ to Nassau, Bahamas on United Airlines because it was the cheapest flight we could find. We are leaving on May 17th and returning on May 23rd. Luckily, we found a roundtrip nonstop flight for around $500 each including checked baggage.
